Equipment and processes of the Packaging Area

The Packaging area is the area in the Clean Room where tasks such as wafer dicing, die bonding or flip-chip are performed

Techniques

  • Silicon wafers and different materials substrates dicing and cleaving
  • Microelectronic devices Packaging: dispensing epoxy adhesives, wirebonding, ribbon bonding, Flip Chip, etc.
  • Circuit Packaging test: destructive or non destructive test, wire bond shear test, die attach test by shear test, etc.
